Category: A Look at the Smalll Things

Welcome to a new week…and, if the forecast is in any way correct, it promises to be a pretty one!  I hope you have some plans to be outside, at least for a bit of the week.  In just my last post, I wrote that the weather had changed and…

I hope your Valentine’s Day was….well, sweet!  I think it is a fun holiday (is it actually a holiday? do schools/businesses have to be closed for it to be an actual holiday?  I digress)  I like this holiday.  No pressure.  Just fun.  And really cute earrings (and sweaters too) to…

Well, this post is either going to be light-hearted, perhaps even fun…or it is going to be totally awkward and/or embarrassing.  But, I am willing to take the risk.  I’m not talking about politics, vaccines, religion, or finances (although I am happy to share my opinion about any of it,…

Good Monday morning!  I’m off early this morning…to a birthday breakfast.  We are helping our friend celebrate 92 years! That’s pretty exciting, in my opinion.  There is another breakfast (not for a birthday) later in the week, a Pie Palooza luncheon tomorrow after Bible study, and my monthly breakfast with…

Autumn is in full swing.  Slower sunrises.  Sweater weather.  Warm, fall-scented drinks.  And the battle over the furnace.  My blog friend, Debbie, put this way:  “(my hubby) and I are entering into our yearly squabble over whether to turn the heat on or not. I run around in pants and…

Summer is in full swing.  The heat (obviously), the extra long days and the early mornings, and evening runs for ice cream (yes, we just got back from such a treat).  The Saturday morning farmer’s markets with all the fresh fruits and fresh vegetables.  All the squash, zucchini and blueberry…

Obviously, summer is officially over but, truthfully, fall is well on its way to over as well. Winter temps are expected every night this week.  So, I thought it was a good time to review some of the “small things” of late.  Shall I say, the small things of autumn? …

Happy Monday friends!  I missed another post….this past Friday, actually.  I just cannot completely shake whatever has plagued me for over two weeks and my schedule has taken a beating.  I was oh so happy to turn the calendar page this weekend.  A fresh month and a little sense of…

I had a few ideas for today’s post but had not nailed down exactly which one I preferred.  I have been wanting to continue – or probably better said to “revive”  – a series of posts I started last year called “A Look at the Small Things.”  It had, somehow,…

Happy Hump Day – if that is still a thing!  Right in the middle of our week.  Most did not notice but I missed my Monday post and the chance to greet everyone this week.  I had another weekend of not feeling great.  Ugh.  Sunday night (when I should have…

A look at the small things in life.  My second installment.  I began this purposeful noticing of – and appreciating – the simple things last month.  Just a random reflection on the everyday things in my world that I might otherwise overlook, or miss, and that I want to remember. …

A look at the small things in life.  I’ve wanted to start this series (not sure I would exactly call it a series…) of posts for some time but just have not.  My goal, for this blog, has always been to encourage others, to keep their eyes focused on Christ,…
